Sam stomped into her office the next day. She had barely slept; nightmares invaded her dreams. Dawn was on the horizon, and the weather had turned chilly. Not as chilly as her last conversation with Joe, who couldn’t understand why Claire was under suspicion at all and what they were they going to do about it. She had no answers.

The office was empty except for Jim, who was handling the front desk. He waved as she walked in. She hoped Phil was in and had good news for her. Although the way this case was shaking out, she was doubtful. She wound her way through the desks and saw light peeking out from the bottom of Phil’s office. She knocked on the door, and a voice shouted “enter.”

She walked into a wonderland of computer monitors, high-tech equipment and God only knew what else. Phil was monitoring about five different screens. His black hair was covered by a black cotton beanie that said, “The computer is down.” Cute, Phil.

“What have you found?”

“Well, good morning to you too.” Phil gave her a broad smile, then lost it when she glared at him.

“Okay, then. I checked the security feeds around the front entrance of the hotel and …”

Sam frowned at him. “I’m assuming you were discreet.”

He gave her an eye roll. “As if you had to ask.”

He got up from his bank of monitors and handed her a slip of paper. “One, I found the license plate number of the car that dropped Claire off. It’s registered to a PI out of Jacksonville named Troy Romano, of Romano Investigations. Two, I have a picture of a woman who looks remarkably like Claire exiting a taxi around 7:30 p.m. the next night and walking into the hotel. I”—he coughed—“tracked her down. She flagged down a taxi at the airport and went directly to the hotel. The hotel tapes show her going to the front desk, then directly up to Keith’s room with a key.”

“Interesting. We know it wasn’t Claire, so why would someone want Claire to take the blame?” Sam sighed. “Good work.”

She would contact this Troy Romano and get his story. She was going to call a friend on the police force and suggest that they check the security cameras from the surrounding stores and airport and of the woman arriving.

They might not be able to identify the woman, but Sam knew that she and Joe were with Claire after the mysterious man returned her. Joe and Hank were with her the night after, so she was never alone and had an alibi for both nights.

Her stomach had been doing flip-flops for a few days as she wondered how they were going to clear Claire’s name. Now she felt optimistic that they could do it. First things first, she had paperwork to do, then she would call Troy Romano and hope to hell he would corroborate Claire’s statement. She wondered who the mystery woman was, and why did she look like Claire? Did she have a hand in killing Keith? Where was she now? She hoped Troy knew something.
